Most City of London churches are now open to visit, for private prayer and communal services, but worshippers are strongly advised to check with the individual church for current opening hours: links to their Web sites are collected on our Churches Online page; you can also find further contact details in the City Events Listing Guide and Church Finder, by clicking on the photos. Click here for current guidance from the Church of England.
St Mary Abchurch, where the The Friends of the City Churches are based, is usually open from 11:00 am until 3:00 pm, Monday to Thursday, with Holy Communion at 12:30 on Wednesday.
Members with queries or merchandise orders are asked to phone or e‑mail if you can. Please use the order form on the Shop page for merchandise; we can accept payment by cheque or card.
Friends' events will be held online until we can all safely travel to and congregate in the City, but our Zoom talks are open to non-members, with booking via Eventbrite.
